List of all members.
Detailed Description
template<typename Data>
class UT_COWWriteHandle< Data >
A write handle can be thought of as a pointer to the actual data. It allows you to modify the underlying data. To do this, it will unique the plain-handle's data so no outstanding readlocks will be affected by the writes.
Building read handles while a write handle is active is valid so long as no dereference occurs during the lifetime of the read handle.
- Examples:
-
standalone/gengeovolume.C, and standalone/geo2voxel.C.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
Member Function Documentation
Converting from a handle into a write handle can only be done once. This prevents other threads or methods from invalidating our uniqueness property. Note we up case from a *pointer* to a UT_COWHandle, not from a UT_COWHandle. This avoids people accidentally using an temporary as the source and underlines that write handles are like pointers while read handles are like values.

Passing write handles by value is fine as the users understand they all share the same underlying data, so is responsible for thread safety, etc.

Turns this into a null handle to drop references.
